  • Proper Form: Maintain correct posture and form during exercises. Incorrect form can lead to injury. If you experience pain, stop immediately.
  • Start Gradually: Begin with the lowest resistance level and gradually increase as your strength improves. Do not attempt to use resistance beyond your current capability.
  • Inspect Equipment: Before each use, inspect the trainer for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Do not use if damaged.
  • Secure Grip: Ensure a firm grip on the non-slip foam handles to prevent slippage during exercise.

3.2 Adjusting Resistance

The trainer offers three adjustable resistance levels (40-90LB) by changing the length of the resistance bars. To adjust:

  1. Locate the adjustment pins on each side of the trainer.
  2. Press the pin and slide the resistance bar to the desired length.
  3. Ensure the pin locks securely into place at the chosen setting on both sides.
  4. A shorter bar length increases resistance, while a longer length decreases it.
